Tourism resources in Liangzi Township

Liang Zi is an old revolutionary base area, with natural tourist attractions such as Taiqing Mountain, Luhongshan Mountain, Yanzi Cave, Dahezhou Hot Spring, Raytheon Cave, Wind Tunnel, Qingshan Gorge and historical sites such as Shuitiangang Longshan Cultural Site. Taiqing Mountain is located in the south of Liangzi Township. Taiqing Mountain has been a tourist attraction since ancient times, with the name of 48 scenic spots. There are more than 120 caves in the mountain, all of which have caves with water and stalactites with different shapes. There are more than 30 temples and temple sites and more than 80 other natural attractions. Taiqing Mountain is known as "cave dwelling", "temple forest", "poetic mountain in northern Hunan" and "the first mountain in northern Hunan". Its human landscape has been completely destroyed due to the war, and most natural scenic spots are still well preserved, showing the original ecology because they have not been developed. Taiqing Mountain has pleasant scenery in the north and many strange caves in the south, which is known as "a fairyland in the north and a cave in the south".

Taiqing Mountain was the place where Li Ningyang, a Song poet, practiced Taoism in ancient times. It is said that Li Ningyang rose in the daytime and Lapras went to heaven. Lapras Temple was built at the foot of Taiqing Mountain in his hometown, and the site is still there. It is also said that Taiqing Mountain used to be called "lifting the mountain" (it is also called lifting the mountain locally). According to legend, a long time ago, it was still a flat land, and there was a fairy's sincere sympathy for Jingwei's reclamation. On a dark night, he took the mountain to the East China Sea to help Jingwei. Unexpectedly, when the two immortals carried the mountain here, they had heard the sound of chickens and dogs, so they had to give up halfway, leaving the mountain in the local area and driving back to heaven. There is its twin brother Gengzi Mountain in the south of Taiqing Mountain. It is said that Taiqing Mountain and Taiqing Mountain are twin brothers. When Taiqingshan was carried away, it couldn't bear to leave its younger brother alone, so it took the initiative to follow his younger brother and followed him here. Gengzi Mountain is a lonely peak, beautiful and green, with a view from the top, and a pool next to it, called Jingshou Pool. There are giant footprints of immortals on a stone wall in the middle of the mountain, and there are natural attractions such as "Kicking Hammer", "Jinding" and "Copper Pot Weir" on the mountain. Dahezhou Hot Spring is located on the west bank of Weishui River in Liangzi Town, adjacent to Songzi County. The water inflow is 8.8 liters/second, the water temperature is 43 degrees, and the water is colorless and has a sulfur smell. The elements in the water are the same as those in the heat flow of Weixin Town, Shimen County, which has great medicinal value and broad application prospects.

Dahezhou hot spring is like a pearl hidden in a deep mountain, and people outside have not yet appreciated its elegance. The scenery here is beautiful, and the winding Tuoshui River is more open here. The hot spring is by the river, and the spring water blends with the river. The spring water is unbearably hot. There are several lines in the distance, and a string of blisters appears in the pebbles. A bluestone pool surrounded by water by the river can accommodate dozens of people. The water depth is just up to the waist and neck of adults, and the excess water overflows from the bluestone. ...

There are many touching legends here. It is said that a fairy descended to earth and bathed here. She was glimpsed by a local farmer and fell in love with life and death, but was stopped by the Jade Emperor. It is also said that He Long whipped mules and horses, walked along the border of Hunan and Hubei, and trafficked salt through Dahezhou. He Long unloaded his mule and horse, naked, and soaked in hot water. When he recovered his spirit, he puffed up, lit his pipe on the bluestone beside the river, locked his eyebrows, meditated, and then slammed forward to help the rich and the poor until two kitchen knives rebelled. ...

Dahezhou cooperated with foreign customers to build a turtle farm covering an area of 20 mu. In 2005, "Dahezhou Hot Spring Villa" was built, and people come here to bathe every day. Autumn, winter and spring are good seasons to soak in hot springs. Luhongshan, also known as Luhuangshan, is located in the northwest corner of Liangzi Township in the north of Shimen County. It is the boundary mountain between Hunan and Hubei, bordering Wufeng County, Hubei Province. Altitude 1 170 meters, 200 miles away from the county seat. Some branches of Luhongshan Mountain extend vertically to the south, forming a landform with alternating bays and ridges, high in the north and low in the south. The stream originating from Luhongshan Mountain pours southward along the mountain.

Luhongshan is majestic, with lush peaks and lush trees. Standing on the top of the main peak, you can see the revival view, overlooking the north and south of the two lakes. In the north, you can see Wufeng Yuyangguan, Songzi, Zhijiang and Yidu, and you can see the white line of the Yangtze River on a sunny day, which is spectacular. Overlooking the entire Tuoshui River Basin in the south, Taiqing Mountain, with a slightly lower terrain, confronts it.

There are two opinions about the origin of the place name of Luhongshan: one is that most of the mountain is reeds except for Bamao, Simao and a few shrubs, which are yellow from a distance, so it is called Luhuangshan. It is said that a big family named Tang once erected 48 blast furnaces at the foot of the mountain to make iron. The fire is flourishing and the mountain is red, so it is called the furnace red mountain.

The gale cliff (that is, gale cliff) on the red hill of Luhan Mountain is full of mountain wind all day long, and the wind can blow people down. If you want to force your way through the pass, you must bend down and get through. If you encounter a storm, you can't get through at all, so it's named Dafeng Pass.

Dafeng Cliff is one of the ancient post roads in Northwest Township of Shimen. Its history can be traced back to the Warring States period, and it was repaired by Chen Tiexi, a hundred local officials in the early Ming Dynasty. There are two east-west ancient post roads in the north and south. Gubei Avenue extends eastward along the main peak of Hu Ping, meanders eastward along the ridge, passes through Nanping River, Bafengshan, Zuoziling, Shangmadun, Baiguoshu, Dafeng Mountain, North Cliff, Songshuya (which can be Xiaziliang) and Shuitongwan, and reaches Songzi Quchi River directly. Below Zatzling, mules and horses can pass, and some bluestones are paved, and the road surface is narrow and rugged. The whole journey/kloc-more than 0/00 kilometers, is the official and commercial artery from top to bottom. Although it is deserted today, it is still the main mountain road for people to walk in mountainous areas.

The South Ancient Post Road starts from Hu Ping in the west, passes through the mountains and crosses the peace, crosses the Shiwan Bridge, passes through Taiqing and Paddy Fields in Xiaziliang, and reaches Tianjin in the east, with a total length of150km. It is an important official road and passage in ancient times. It is said that Liu Bei passed this road when he went south to take Langzhou (Changde). This area is also the birthplace of the legend of Zhuang Eight Dragons, one of the five fairy tales in China.

There are also two ancient roads, north and south, both leading to Yuyang Pass in Wufeng, Hubei Province.

One is from Weixinchang, Jiuduhe and Taiping Street, passing through Gangou River, Caijiawan and Dafengya to Yuyangguan. 1937 after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, especially in Hunan, the official salt was blocked, and officials and businessmen from Yuangongdu, Weixinchang and Sansheng went to Sandouping, Hubei Province to carry Sichuan salt, which was the only way. During the period of 1943, Liang and Taiping both took this route, and the Anti-Japanese Central Army of the Republic of China also sailed from Taiping Street to Yuyangguan, Hubei Province via Dafengya.

One runs from Shimen to Liangping, Biandan Bay and Beiya (there are north-south boundary pillars and road signs, which were smashed during the Cultural Revolution, but the remains are still there) to Yuyangguan. In 1930s, during the Great Revolution, He Long led the Red Army through this route many times. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the Central Army of the Republic of China (66th Army,18th Army and 79th Army) also took this route twice. During this period, Shimen-Liang Zi-Yuyangguan long-distance telephone lines, passages, anti-Japanese rations and arms transshipment also took this route.

In the past, there were many temples along these ancient post roads with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. Now the temple has been completely abandoned, but the remains such as the foundation of Lubei Temple can still be seen.

Luhongshan is shrouded in mist all the year round. The original wild tea forest on the mountain is estimated to be 500 mu, but it is difficult to estimate the scattered wild tea forest in the mountain forest. Since ancient times, these tea trees are all natural and wild, without industrial pollution and pesticides and fertilizers. They are full of fragrance and are undeveloped precious resources.

Luhongshan is rich in products, and there are abundant coal, iron and limestone underground. Tung oil trees and Mu Zi on the mountain fall to the ground when they mature every year, and no one picks them up. Wild Dioscorea zingiberensis, litsea cubeba, kiwi fruit, lily and kudzu root are also exploited freely, and there are four springs: Xiangxiong Cave, Xiangshui and Paogu. The water is clear, pure and sweet; The natural scenery of Yanzi Cave, Raytheon Cave, Qiqiutian, Wind Tunnel River and other places is endless and beautiful.

The historic site is the Wangye Cliff at the foot of Beiya Mountain, and it is the patrol place of a prince in the Ming Dynasty. The site of the Pass still exists today. Yanzidong is located in the northeast of Peacock Bridge in Xindaowan Village, Liangzi Township, about 400 meters along the village-level highway in the canyon. There is a limestone arch called Yanzi Cave. Outside the cave, there are dozens of cliffs. The roof of the cave is shaded by trees, and the vines are staggered and swaying in the wind, like a natural green gauze curtain. Five different forms of stone bats crouched at the mouth of the cave-the "Five Blessingg" stone statue seemed to be in sight, and its four chicks were about to spread their wings and fly, looking out of the cave, just like a lotus stand. There is a rock image of "two lions holding the ball" on the right wall. The flowing water under the cave is clear, and the small fish swim into the play, which seems to be fun with people. Entering the cave from dozens of steps on the left is a tall and empty vault. The ground is uneven, but it is spacious. If it is like a hall, both sides are transparent, not too dark. Stay here and feel cool and comfortable. On the upper left of the hall, there is a small hole, which is the south gate. On the mottled stone wall eroded by wind and rain outside and soaked by leakage inside, there is a huge Shi Hu "roaring" on the left, which is "Tiger Roaring and Qingxia"; The right wall floats like a long, fairy-like figure, which is called the "Antarctic fairy wall"; Not far away, there was a monk wearing a cassock and climbing the wall with a conch. Everything was vivid and eye-catching.

On the way to the main cave, stalactites are everywhere, with different shapes. Along the way, there are jade pillars supporting the sky, the study room, the tortoise protecting the treasure, the old nitrate field (where the predecessors cooked nitrate), the parallel flow of the three rivers (the three rivers flow in different directions), climbing the ladder, hitting the bell rock and the tower rock. When you get off the bus, you have to turn to the attic, then go through the passage of the 100-meter canyon and go out the back door, and you can see the Wind Tunnel River, a summer resort 100 meters away. Raytheon Cave is located in Xindaowan Village, Liangzi Township, at the west of Peacock Bridge 1.5km. There are two towering mountains, Maanshan in the east, Jinshan in the west, Luhongshan (the boundary mountain between Hunan and Hubei) in the north, and a canyon in the middle, which is the west gate corridor leading from Liangzi Township to Taiping Town. Just at the foot of Jinshan, which is about 1000 meters high, there is a cave about 10 meters wide and about 30 meters high. Along the outer edge, there are towering old trees, graceful vines, warm spring in bloom, colorful, like natural cave curtains. In summer and autumn, loquat, bayberry and other kinds of mountain fruits are numerous and covered with branches, which adds beauty to the cave. There is a clear spring flowing out of the cave, sweet and cool, gurgling, and python infesting; Looking inside, the darkness is unfathomable, and the source does not know where it comes from; Stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave are crystal clear and have different shapes. This is the beautiful and peculiar Thor Cave.

Why did this cave get its name? It has a history. According to legend, a long time ago, people who lived on the half slope of Luhongshan Mountain in the north saw lights shining under Nanfeng Mountain every night, and decided that this mountain was a golden mountain with hidden treasures, so it was named "Golden Mountain". Since there are treasures, we should protect them. So, people around chose to build a temple at the flash of the mountain peak, named Jinshan Temple, and hired a monk to offer incense. For thousands of years, people from all over the world went up the mountain to worship and smoked vigorously, and they didn't enjoy high reputation until the 1950s. The sincerity of building a temple and offering sacrifices greatly moved the Emperor of Heaven. He sent Lord Raytheon to live in the cave at the intersection of the mountains, patrol the mountains, protect the treasures of the town house and keep one side safe. Therefore, this cave was named Raytheon Cave. Tuoshui is a tributary of the upper reaches of the rich water, which goes deep into Shimen County. Shibeiya (also known as Shigunya), which originated at the northern foot of Daya in Taiping Town, runs from south to north, passes through Hujiachong, crosses mountains and waters, turns east to Xiaojiaxi, crosses Zisheng Bridge, and passes through Shengziping, Qijiahe, Wanshiqiao, Taiping Street and Kuzhuping. Through Taiping Town and Liangzi Township, the county has a total length of 45.5 kilometers, a drainage area of 347.7 kilometers and a river slope of 8.8‰.

Tuoshui section has different names. From the source to Sitanhe Village in Taiping Town, the name spans mountains and rivers, from the village below Sitanhe to Dahezhou, and it is also called Sitanhe, Nanhe, Tuoshui and Sitanhe in turn. Because Tuoshui is a mountain river, the water level fluctuates rapidly, generally with a water depth of 0.3 ~ 0.4 meters, many shoals and a narrow riverbed, and only 2 ~ 3 tons of ships can pass. Set sail from Kuzhuping, go downstream, pass Ziliangping, and arrive at Xizhai, Songzi County, Hubei Province by the Quchi River. Since 1970s, due to the completion of expressway, materials transportation abandoned water, and waterways gradually abandoned.

There are 265,438+0 streams (including Tuoshui) flowing into Tuoshui from Liangzi Township and west of Liang Zi, including Qijiahe, Dongliuxi, Zhoujiachong, Gangou River and Huchengyu. There are many streams in various mountains, and there are valley plains such as Kuzhuping and Ziliangping along the way, with dense population and fertile land. Tung oil is abundant on both sides of the basin. It used to be from Tuoshui to Shashi or Tianjin every year.

Crossing the mountains and rivers: Crossing the mountains and rivers is a section of the upper reaches of Tuoshui, located in Taiping Town. Originated in Shijieya at the northern foot of Daya in Taiping Town, it flows eastward through Hujiachong and Chuanshanhe Village, flows to Taiping Street through Zisheng Bridge, Sitanhe Village and Shengziping, and is connected with Sichong River.

There is an autogenous bridge over the mountains and rivers, and the water flows over the mountains, and the river is under the bridge, which is unique. The story of Zhuang Balong (also known as Nie Long) crossing mountains and rivers and bypassing Tuohe River is widely circulated. Many place names are related to the legend of Zhuang Balong, which is called the "fifth legend" of China, with different opinions. According to legend, there was a "dragon" (Ba Long) here in ancient times, which was chased by Taoist Xu Jingyang. When the dragon gave the order, it was windy and rainy, and its head touched the mountain, and it crossed the foothills, leaving a round hole in the foothills, hence the name "Crossing the Mountain". The river where water flows through the hole is called crossing the mountains and rivers. He also said that the tomb of the dragon was in the mountains, and his son Bailong came to sweep the grave, shaking the wind and shaking the rain, and crossing the river. Today, when we look at this place, it used to be a mountain lake. It is said that before the bridge was built, there was a cave called Huamian Cave, through which water could pass. Under the action of water erosion and weathering for many years, limestone ridges gradually dissolved. Due to the squeezing of the catastrophic flood, the water in the crevices swelled, and the stones cracked and collapsed, so a large circular cave was formed where the so-called "Nie Long" crossed the mountain. "The two mountains embrace the boulder and flow out from it." The boulder at the top of the cave spans two peaks and becomes a magnificent natural stone arch bridge, hence the name autogenous bridge. As for the water and hail disasters around Tomb-Sweeping Day, it is a regional microclimate with variation.

This autogenous bridge is a single arch, and the river flows under it. The north of the bridge is the head mouth, and the south of the bridge is connected with a steep slope. The bridge is12m wide,150m long and 200m high. It is the only way for Luzhou Village to reach the same village. There are many peaks and peaks in this area, with high mountains and deep valleys, cliffs, lush trees, rugged mountain roads, roads blocked by clouds, and unusual scenery. In addition, the autogenous bridge spans the air from a distance, like a bridge and a palace. Seen from the foot of the mountain, it looks like a rainbow in the sky, which is a major attraction in the north of the county.

There is a stone cave on the cliff on the left side of the bridge, through which the stone gate passes, which can accommodate ten thousand people. There is an upside-down stone at the top of the cave, which looks like a lotus flower. The flower is more than 6 feet wide and the flower root is only one foot wide, so it is called Lotus Cave. On one occasion, a tourist improvised a poem: "There is an autogenous bridge on the mountain, and the idea is ingenious. The Lotus Cave under the bridge is beautiful, which attracts travelers to compete."

Up to now, there is still a stone tablet standing on the Balong wooden tomb across Qian Shan. Legend has it that every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, the dragon will come back to visit his mother's grave. When the dragon came, it rained and hail, and the local people were greatly affected by the hail disaster, but the mother grave was calm and safe. It is said that in the early years of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, Wanshou Palace was built in the neighboring Xianyang Ping, which was calm. According to legend, during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Qin Gui Ci, an adult student, built the original tomb of the dragon mother into a magnificent cemetery in order to eradicate the floods in his hometown, and the dragon pattern was lifelike. The cemetery is surrounded by mountains and waters, surrounded by flowers, with dense forests and grass, and rare birds haunt it from time to time. Every time I go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, people come to visit the grave in an endless stream and become a tourist attraction.
